20 labs · ~7.5h total

Bridge the gap between DevOps and GenAI. This path focuses not on training models but on
running them: serving with the right pattern (scale-to-zero serverless vs dedicated GPU
capacity), dynamic batching for throughput, taming cold starts, optimizing AI spend, and
assembling the whole stack into one end-to-end GenAI platform - the enterprise architect's remit.
